Launched in 2016 by Nomenclature, Lumen-esce is a Floral fragrance for both women and men, crafted by perfumer Frank Voelkl. The composition opens with bright citrus and ozonic notes that evoke the freshness of an early morning walk. As it evolves, the scent reveals a heart of powdery florals, particularly violet, which adds a soft, delicate quality. This is balanced by woody and patchouli base notes that ground the fragrance without overpowering its airy, luminous character.

Application Tips
Lumen-esce is best applied as a light mist to the pulse points. The ozonic and citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so for lasting impact, allow it to settle into the powdery floral and woody base notes over time. This fragrance reads better close to skin than from across a room.
